Affirmology Mayan Astrology + Enneagram + Chinese Astrology Capability Build (Handoff v1)

Date: 2026-07-20. Owner: code/engine chat. Origin: Cowork/DATA chat, Jeff's request.

Context

Jeff wants three new reading traditions in the system: Mayan astrology (Tzolk'in), Enneagram, and Chinese astrology (BaZi). None exists in the reading corpus today. Current traditions in record: western_astrology (8,271), human_design (7,952), transits (4,764), vedic_astrology (1,726), gene_keys (1,701), numerology (1,138), techniques (18). The wisdom corpus has only light-touch craft entries for these topics (nothing at all for Chinese astrology beyond I Ching); 15 deeper research items were seeded into the nightly backlog on 2026-07-20 (Cowork: 5 Mayan, 5 Enneagram, 5 Chinese astrology), so craft-level knowledge will grow automatically. This handoff covers the ENGINE capability: corpus traditions, chart math, and council oracles.

Build spec

1. Mayan astrology (new tradition mayan_astrology)

• Chart math (src/affirmology/chart/): birth date -> kin 1..260 (Julian day correlation), decomposed to day sign (1 of 20 glyphs) + tone (1..13). Derive wavespell position, destiny oracle partners (guide, antipode, occult, analog), Year Bearer. Deterministic, unit-tested (pytest, known-date fixtures).
• DECISION NEEDED FROM JEFF: traditional Maya count (GMT correlation 584283) vs Arguelles Dreamspell count. They give different day signs for the same birthday. Pick primary or support both with a flag.
• Corpus pipeline (src/affirmology/corpus/): scrape tier A/B sources for per-element records: 20 day signs, 13 tones, 260 kin combinations, wavespells, Year Bearers. Element_type/element_key pattern mirrors existing traditions.
• New oracle in the council (name TBD by Jeff, e.g. a Mesoamerican figure) registered with Hermes, corpus-grounded, tier-walled to A/B.

2. Enneagram (new tradition enneagram)

• No birth math exists. Requires a typing intake: short question flow or self-declared type stored on the person record (type 1..9, wing, instinctual stacking sp/sx/so, optional level).
• Corpus records: 9 types, 18 wings, 27 subtypes (type x instinct), integration/disintegration lines, levels of development. Tier A/B sources only; Riso-Hudson published books are copyrighted, use summaries/secondary tier-appropriate sources.
• New oracle registered with Hermes, same pattern.

3. Chinese astrology (new tradition chinese_astrology)

• Chart math (src/affirmology/chart/): birth datetime -> BaZi Four Pillars (year, month, day, hour), each a heavenly stem + earthly branch from the sexagenary cycle. Requires Chinese calendar conversion: year boundary at Li Chun (not Jan 1), month pillars from solar terms, hour pillar from local time. Derive day master, animal + element per pillar, and luck pillar (decade) timing. Deterministic, pytest fixtures with known dates. Existing Python libs (e.g. lunar-python / cnlunar) can back the conversion; verify against published charts.
• DECISION NEEDED FROM JEFF: depth of v1. Option A: zodiac layer only (year animal + element, interactions). Option B: full BaZi four pillars + day master + luck pillars. B is the real system and recommended; A can ship as a milestone.
• Corpus records (tier A/B): 12 animals, 5 elements, 60 stem-branch combinations, day masters (10 stems), pillar interactions (clashes, combines), luck pillar timing themes. Zi Wei Dou Shu deferred to a later version (survey only in wisdom corpus).
• New oracle in the council (name TBD by Jeff), same Hermes registration pattern, tier-walled A/B.

4. Integration

• Both traditions become available to render_sacred_audio and readings exactly like existing systems: retrieval only, Hermes weaves.
• Update corpus R2 sync so new records ship to the cloud Studio on boot.

Split of work

• DONE (Cowork, 2026-07-20): state audit; 15 research backlog items seeded (5 Mayan, 5 Enneagram, 5 Chinese astrology) into the wisdom corpus for nightly craft mining; this spec.
• CODE CHAT BUILDS: chart math + tests for Mayan and Chinese, corpus scrape pipeline for all three traditions, typing intake for Enneagram, three new oracles, R2 sync inclusion.
• JEFF DECIDES: (a) Mayan count correlation (traditional GMT 584283 vs Dreamspell), (b) Chinese v1 depth (zodiac-only vs full BaZi; BaZi recommended), (c) oracle names for all three, (d) Enneagram intake UX.
